Bicycle-friendly beer and wine garden planned for Lafitte Greenway

The developers behind The Bulldog and Velvet Cactus have another project in the pipeline: a bicycle-friendly beer and wine garden on the Lafitte Greenway.

Developer Billy Good told The Mid-City Messenger that crews have applied for construction permits, and work on the yet-to-be-named bar may start early next year.

In addition to parking for vehicles, there would be spots for about 60 bicycles since the bar would be located just off the greenway, The Messenger reported. The bar, planned to be built at 501 N. Genois St., will also have an outdoor patio with trees, fire pits and heaters.
